Completely Gutted Our Laundry Room

[@jeremiahigo6717]

Literally new age this old house. Give this man a show already. He is great at what he does. Wish he lived close I'd take some classes for sure.

[@buiquocduy9518]

Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

[@adriennedull332]

Beautiful laundry room! I'd like to do laundry there! The counter top looks so nice I thought it was marble, til I watched the video!

[@Javie2800]

Love it ! Appreciate the cost breakdown!!! keep it up bro !!

[@toneloc79]

I want Todo my laundry room Sumday got new front load washer and dryer already

[@m-jay356]

was that a Miter Tent? lol 1st time seeing a home for that..

[@carlosborja904]

Bro what’s up with some of these negative comments, to much questioning, I’m pretty sure mr build it knows what he’s doing, let’s just admire this awesome renovation 👍🏼💯

[@marylandsworld3428]

I love that if you’re handy you can make a show online that pays for you to have a better and better house just by doing the transformation on video. What a world we live in.

[@SteveBoyer10]

and then you move to a new house when your current house is all fixed up, and further profit off your improvements

[@lily824]

Gotta be handy, have tools, have camera equipment, have a good camera presence/personality, editing skills, and a whole lot of time because filming and editing make the process longer. It's a lot of work and almost never happens as quick as you want - it is an awesome world with a lot of opportunity, but it takes a lot of hard work, money, and consistency.

[@eh2newman]

Is there no concern for the studs that you chopped off? It is hard to tell at 10:40 if you actually added back support for those studs.

[@ElizabethMcKittrick]

this is what I was wondering. It may only be 2 of them but it still worries me.

[@MattyH73]

Nah all good, he’ll sell the house in 5 years and make it someone else’s problem

[@dontworryaboutit3281]

Yeah that double is load barring....

[@RCCustomRepairs]

Those are usually extras in case you need to cut them off

[@overthetopcargotrailerjerr2278]

no need to worry guys, what's behind the wall stays behind the wall 😜🤪👍🤯

[@sewingstoryprojects6178]

Dumb question - for the studs that you cut the bottom off of, were you going to build them back after the plumbing?

[@dolfinwriter5389]

Another dumb question--did you update your dryer outlet to 4-prong would you were at it? (Which requires running a new cable from breaker box) Or was yours already updated?

[@DearDarlenee_]

Amazing job, as always! I always appreciate that you breakdown the costs and budget. I feel this is a thing many others don’t include. This helps to get a realistic budget idea for us that diy our home renos as well. Thank you!

[@arth.4196]

Hola, What did you do to re-support the 2x4's you cut to run the New Plumbing ?

[@willtaylor9533]

im with you.... what was the plan with the floating wall studs....

[@epplonia]

I actually rewinded a couple times to find out, had the exact same question. I'm pretty confident he didn't do anything...

[@jeremys3174]

Bluetooth studs.. I don't think structural but I'm sure he'll have some cracking in a year..

[@dadlife8289]

I stopped a few times right as he put on the drywall, he didn't do anything with the cut studs. Alex needs to step up his game or he's going back to work as an RT

[@danielallen2000]

Saws all blade didn’t pinch… probably not a load bearing wall

[@GaryRodeo]

Can you still access the supply lines and vent to the washer and dryer?

[@hughes3947]

😬

[@MsStaceybland]

It came out really cute! However, how did you resupport those 2x4s that you cut??

[@nateluecking5804]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he didn't...

[@rsunberg]

He replied to another comment. Apparently it's not a load bearing wall.

[@jasonporeda9303]

So, I love your projects and I've been inspired/ learned a lot from you. Our laundry room is much smaller, but I want to do some similar things in ours that you just did. I think it looks amazing! However, I have a question for you... If you need to do maintenance on the dryer/ washing machine, how do you access them with the counter built right on top of them?

[@MrBuildit]

Pull them out from the sides

[@JellowCat]

are those vertical wood things that you cut off to change the plumbing around and didn't replace the same that you're hanging the wall cabinets off of?

[@amanya772]

Hi bro I searched you from Fiverr can i make KZbin thumbnails for your channel in just 10$??

[@7swild875]

Those studs are now Bluetooth. Great work showing people you don’t have to replace stuff you cut off. 🤘

[@S2KV]

Woah, did you somehow thought people wouldn't see that you didn't fix the cut 2 x 4 studs and the gaps on the top of the shiplap boards that meets the ceiling

[@tricia8727]

I liked before i've even seen the whole video bc i know it's going to be AWESOME! Keep up the good work 👏 👏👏👏👏

[@roymoralescastro4574]

I like the way you built everything, all-around your family, your home! I feel identified as you do different things in a solo project, simple but magnificent

[@theweekendbuilder]

Love it man, keep up the good work! Feels like you are the only one who gives the ACTUAL cost to do something like this.

[@kenishasmith9834]

😳 I can only dream of a laundry room like this one…. Amazing!!!! Love it.

[@marcberm]

Love it!!! I don't know if those bendy straw drainpipes meet code though (at least so I've been told by professional plumbers when I dared to try and use one myself).

[@lukecage5932]

Same here. I used one on a DIY job a few years ago. When we sold the house in 2020 the inspector said it had to come out because it wasn’t up to code. It worked fine, so if you’re not planning to sell your house anytime soon I wouldn’t worry about using one.

[@denniscordova9920]

I'm a plumber, and you're correct, not a legal fitting.

[@warchie3702]

Can you do a house tour of all the projects that you've done so far?

[@Senwot2000]

This man is an electrician, drywall expert, woodworker, plumber, and probably many other things. I’m impressed.

[@jordangosse9609]

expert is a little far fetched

[@E-N-A-R-D-L-A-V]

He cut out the bottom of the wall studs, didn't repair it, and just drywalled over it. Amateur hour.

[@reb219]

@@E-N-A-R-D-L-A-V 100% ... said he was going to build support... and then didn't.

[@dolfinwriter5389]

And is that wall load bearing? Is so, then you compromised the structural support of everything above it.

[@netropolis]

I REALLY appreciate you showing a miscalculation/mistake! Something most of us do all the time... and can't edit out. ALSO amazing job!

[@MrBuildit]

Mistakes make us better

[@brianfletcher7993]

Looks great. Curious where you put the cut off valves for the washing machine. Inside and at the back of the sink cabinet?

[@mizzzzzme]

You mentioned 1/16th inch spacers/grout lines for all of your tile, but when you were talking about your grout you said it was good for 1/8th inch and up. Why use that grout then? Won't it cause issues?

[@jamesh7644]

Did you test for any leaks before sealing up that wall?

[@MrBuildit]

2 days worth of monitoring

[@TheWrightAdvantures]

I have to commend you for making those laminate countertops looks so good! Great job!

[@robnolte2547]

Secret sink swap, final one definitely looks better! I like the use of formica in this to make the project a bit more budget friendly.

[@Justforfun-ek7et]

Looking great! I love the confidence you give to us home owners that want to do renovations ourselves.

[@MrBuildit]

Thanks so much!

[@Ayce_www]

10:40 so not sure but looks like you didn't add any support back for the studs? i am sure its not load bearing but probably not the greatest.

[@Architectwithtools]

I noticed the same thing! That means the upper cabinet is only being supported by the drywall. Hopefully that’s not a load bearing wall also!

[@MrBuildit]

Not a load bearing wall. Cabinets attached to 30 inches above the stone on the left and in the middle

[@Architectwithtools]

Glad to hear that the wall isn’t holding anything above, but you still need to put support back in when you cut studs clean off. Someone watching this and doing as you do may be cutting in to a load bearing wall (something to keep in mind). For a non-load bearing wall, the studs are still carrying the weight of the wall and anything that’s hung on it - cabinets, shelves, laundry, etc. The wall obviously won’t collapse immediately - since it didn’t when you cut the studs off - and there’s a chance you may never have any issues depending how the framing was done, but there’s a good chance that things could begin to sag because the cut off studs are now only being hung from the top plate. As the weight slowly pulls the nails out and the drywall can’t support the weight, you’ll first see cracking and hopefully fix the issue before the wall collapses. This is why it’s common for 2x6s to be used for plumbing walls - so that holes for pipes can be cut through but not compromise the structural integrity of the wall.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

You killed it Alex!! This is in my top 3 favorite projects you've done Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!!

[@lucafigueiredo6005]

Woah did he just completely chop off 4 studs???? To redo plumbing?

[@lucafigueiredo6005]

Beautiful cabinetry though

[@emilys9782]

Way to compromise the structural integrity of your home, in addition to the support necessary for the cabinet above the sink. I can't believe someone could cut those studs and not do anything to repair them. 👎🏻

[@danielallen2000]

Try 44.9 deg on the saw instead of 45.1. Gap will be in the back of the joint instead of the show edge!

[@gailedwards9829]

I really love the final reveal. Would love to make my laundry room look like that.

[@gia1150]

If only demolition and construction was really this fast lol I love it 🥰🥰🥰

[@ym2638]

It’s a cute laundry room but the decor is a bit too much for it being just that in my opinion.

[@kevinzschach4824]

Great job man!! Love the after. I'm impressed with the workshop organization.

[@dkosawa]

Just curious, are you having to go through permitting process for plumbing and electrical?

[@MrBuildit]

Yep

[@dkosawa]

@@MrBuildit that sucks ;)

[@TMichael1415]

Big fan of your work. Wish I could be half as handy as you are.

[@designDIY]

I’m your first view? Lol…nice work as usual

[@dayk4563]

Any thought in putting tile/backsplash to the left of the sink? If water was going to get on any walls it would be there as well as directly behind the sink.

[@nathanwolff2505]

Dude your video quality is superb! I've been learning so much binging your channel! Video quality is indicative of a multimillion sub channel. Great job!

[@leighadaig24]

Looks nice! Will you throw up some crown? That gap at the ceiling would drive me bonkers!!

[@seanglennon5753]

Tying in your sanitary to ur laundry is a bad idea

[@teesamusiq]

Watching your videos has increased my skills woodworking . I m actually from South AFRICA 🇿🇦 . Now I've became a well known handyman and making money out of this❤

[@nateluecking5804]

Am I not the only one that saw him just leave the 2x4's cut and covered it up with drywall?? I had to go back to make sure I saw that right.

[@AssassinGT]

yeah I saw that as well, and left two sections where the nail plates can go back on.

[@mikehernandez9140]

Hopefully it wasn’t a load bearing wall lol

[@Toneychaplin]

Looooool I didn’t catch that

[@gurban333]

what a hack plumbing job

[@terrenceray7137]

Oh I understand so what do you have plan next ?????but good idea you try made plan for add to basement project soon

[@MB-tu2ns]

It's nice but personally I kind of liked the white oak look you had in the cabinets before painting. It just gave you a nice but not drastic contrast instead of everything being completely white, but that's just me.

[@lewispark162]

Asking because I don’t know: I know nothing about building ! The little gap at the top of the the wall (window wall) I don’t know if you cut it too short on purpose or something but wouldn’t you caulk it or use some kind of filler ?

[@zacjohnson19]

Not sure if you'll see this but I want to do ship lap/tongue and groove in my garage. I wanted to do adhesive and brads. Any idea how much weight they might be able to hold?

[@MrBuildit]

my guess as much as the drywall if not more.

[@cptjennings6]

$2300 to build, added probably close to $10K to $15K to your property value so win win.

[@tiredgoblinboi]

I wish we could do this in our laundry room. Having to do a lot of work to utilize space with the layout of the house.

[@sycois]

Hats off, bro! You're a beast to do all this yourself! What happened to your video/assistant guy? Got the feeling he wasn't there for this

[@talram3347]

You make all this look so easy, well done mate

[@MrBuildit]

Thanks 👍

[@Sleepyjudei]

I'm adding cabinets and a sink to our laundry room. Is that shared vent with the 3 way drain up to code? I was going to do something similar but was thinking I would actually need a separate vent branch for the sink.

[@emmetwhitehead1703]

What about where the ship lap touches the ceiling 😭 I would go crazy seeing that everyday

[@overthetopcargotrailerjerr2278]

I'M STILL BUSTING MY ASS how you cut out 5 studs & left them out in your plumbing wall 🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜 WHEN can u come work at my house ....no permits or experience needed 🤪😜🤪😜👍👍

[@cp3onmtv963]

Glad you changed out that sink. It definitely looked dated! Nice job

[@Freedomrenovations]

killin it brotha ! You inspired me to chase my youtube dream, love all the projects you do !

[@fitat4224]

I love your videos and admire your ability and work but I can’t really understand your measurements A- because you talk so fast B- because you use imperial measurement which 90% of the world gave up over 50 years ago?? I use centimetres and millimeters not inches and feet. You guys (meaning America)need to 😅catch up with the rest of the world😂😀

[@Casey388]

Love how it turned out. Also gotta love seeing something so close to home. Those Marshalltown products are made just down the road from me.

[@Tdub66]

Thanks for the detailed information on materials you’re using to complete the jobs.

[@adamjolson82]

If possible what are the width and depth of your laundry room? I’m feeling inspired….

[@scottmac386]

Great video! Shows just how much is involved in the whole process along with the budget. Would be interesting to see in addition how much it would cost if you just went out and hired someone to do it. Talk about DYI motivation.... Thanks for your instruction.

[@kristinrobinson7274]

I watch a lot of your old videos. How do you know how much grit of sandpaper to use?, does it depends on the wood?

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

I hate with somebody make a video and don't show any link of the stuff they got it's like you don't do nothing, if I see one of your videos is because I want to know what problem you use, I like your channel but you need to change this

[@Bhanna2107]

NOOOOOOO, not the flexible p-trap. Being a plumber kills me to see that haha.

[@erickmorton8085]

I am glad I am not the only one that got upset at that

[@Deathsencore]

Why does every DIY laundry include a NON-functional drying rack over the bench... firstly put the rack over the sink so it drips into it and not the bench, secondly put it high enough you can actually hang a shirt without it dragging on the bench. I cringe every time I see these 'just for show' racks.

[@dyrectory_com]

You work efficiently! 👏🏻

[@kiashaw]

This turns out amazing! What size is the sink?

[@tmac3773]

I'd like to see the part (my favorite part of any laundry area) is trying to hook up the washer and dryer under the cabinet and what not hahah

[@WorkingAxle]

Dang Mr. Built it! What kinda lights are those that you have in the garage/shop!?!?!?!

[@SableSunsets]

Wtf why are you not a 1 million subs. Must be the intro song hahah glad you changed it in new videos 😊❤ love your channel and I used to live in Boise ID. Yeah your heat is DRY but here in Florida all the humidity will have you dead in no time hava

[@HalfAssHomestead]

Wanna come work on my house? I normally do everything like you do, but since I shattered my heel 18 months ago, I can't walk or climb on ladders anymore. 😞

[@דודה-ר8ג]

Guess only way to access the supply line/shutoff waterline to washing machine Is to pull washer out to turn off?? Pain in the Butt. All these laundry make over do that cover it up. I’d at least make a way to reach it from top with that part of counter having a removable cover

[@MechE11B]

Did you cut out the supports and then drywall over them without building supports for them again?

[@TomCGhost]

Bro, Ileana is only in the patreon now? Glad to see either way, I was worried you were getting lonely haha

[@bmu1015]

As a technician, having the laundry buried under a countertop just screams at me. And how do you pull the dryer out to clean the dryer exhaust???

[@gauseb]

Gotta watch quick before he takes it down

[@shanaproctor100]

Gorgeous!! Laundry wouldn't be a chore in that room.

[@PorscheCaymanB]

Why didn't you finish the top first then fit it?. You got appliances getting choked up with dust?

[@deegreg6005]

The laminate sidewall design doesn’t align with the top design. Should have cut the big sheet differently so the design aligns… it is a bit of an eye sore.

This is so helpful and I love the money breakdown at the end

[@nicholaswise2630]
